Dark Horse, Critical Role, and Amazon MGM Studios present The Legend of Vox Machina: The Whitestone Chronicles Volume 3 – The Briarwoods

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books, Critical Role, and Amazon MGM Studios have revealed the third volume in the hit Whitestone Chronicles series, The Legend of Vox Machina: The Whitestone Chronicles Volume 3—The Briarwoods. This final graphic novel in The Whitestone Chronicles series is written by Marieke Nijkamp, with art by Aviv Or, colors by Diana Sousa, and letters by Comicraft. This set of interconnected graphic novels explores more of the world of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 1 and shines light on the off-screen storylines of the show.

How did Delilah Briarwood come to be known as a powerful necromancer?

As a student at the Alabaster Lyceum, Delilah was a strategic and cunning mage with deadly ambitions. Her tactical elegance and cold confidence eventually led her to a position at the Soltryce Academy, which provided her a place to conduct her research as well as the opportunity to rub elbows with the rich and powerful of the Dwendalian Empire. With her unwavering focus, everything was going to plan…that is, until she met Sylas Briarwood.

They quickly fell in love and were married, but their life of wedded bliss is tragically upended when Sylas falls ill and succumbs to his rare disease before Delilah can find a cure. Heartbroken and beyond desperate, Delilah turns to a powerful being that ultimately reunites her with her soulmate…with a few monstrous caveats.

Though they can pretend that their life together is back to the way it once was, Delilah and Sylas must now walk down the path of no return. What obstacles will befall the Briarwoods as they attempt to resurrect the Whispered One?

The Legend of Vox Machina: The Whitestone Chronicles Volume 3—The Briarwoods (80 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”, hardcover) arrives in bookstores on June 30 and in comic shops on July 1, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99.

Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 blends the new films with classic cartoon

Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest #1

The Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop. While Trevor steadies himself by trying to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe meets someone who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when a ghostly saber summons the ghost of Captain Kidd and threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town! Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 kicks off a new ghost busting adventure while exploring the price of fame.

Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 is an interesting comic with a vibe that’s a mix of the latest films and a bit of a throwback to the classic animated series. Written by David M. Booher, the comic’s strength is exploring a family dynamic with the pressure of being Ghostbusters. While one member of the classic lineup is featured in the comic, this has more to do with Trevor, Phoebe, their mom, and Gary Groober.

And that’s the strength of the comic. It’s able to do what the previous Ghostbusters couldn’t really do, feature a family dynamic. Trevor and Phoebe are doing what they can to balance their new life with being kids while their mom and Gary are balancing a new job and city with trying to raise these kids. Oh yeah, they also catch ghosts. It’s an interesting growth of the series and evolves it from the classic monster of the moment of the animated series, movies, and comics. The dynamic has shifted from friends/team taking on the supernatural to an actual family doing it.

Booher also explores the impact of fame on them as well. Phoebe is trying to be a normal kid but her notoriety has attracted fans and bullies resulting in an inability to live a semi-normal life in and out of school. The fame that comes with being a Ghostbuster is something teased and danced around in the past, but here its front and center and not too subtle with the opening ghost busting.

Aviv Or‘s art is good. With color by Cris Peter and lettering by Jimmy Betancourt the characters are recognizable though not perfect likenesses of the actors that play them. The ghosts remind me a lot of what we saw in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon and there’s some fun with the specters there. Overall, it looks good.

Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 is an interesting start and the negative is an ending that feels rather abrupt and sudden with not a ton of setup but beyond that, it’s a nice continuation of the Ghostbusters new chapter.

The first-ever print edition of the complete Crystal Heart webcomic, which references the Savage Worlds RPG system, will arrive in November 2025. Written by Eran Aviram and illustrated by Aviv Or, Crystal Heart offers a unique look into the world of tabletop roleplaying games. 

Enter a world where everyone’s heart is made of stone: special agents of an organization called Syn replace their own hearts with mysterious crystals that grant them unique powers, and team up to unearth more of these valuable artifacts around the world. One such team is on course to unearth much more: secrets within their ranks and the mystery behind the crystals themselves.

Rotem, Guy, Lily, and Game Master Nadav jump into a TTRPG campaign, weaving an intriguing—and often hilarious—story about friendship, fantasy, and world-changing magic. Readers will be there with the players as they learn the game, roll dice, discover the world, and shape the narrative in pursuit of the secrets of the crystals.
